This year’s theme is "Every Step of the Way." In recognition of National Breastfeeding Month, Miami-Dade County partners are coming together to host 2021 BreastfeedMIAMI to celebrate and build a
strong breastfeeding support network.

This is a community collaboration to educate, support, and promote breastfeeding in Miami-Dade County. The goal of this very special month is to provide education to new and expecting mothers, fathers, and their families, as well as the community about the importance and benefits of breastfeeding.

Vaccination remains the most powerful tool to prevent the disease and stop community spread - we are counting on every Panther to do their part. As we strive to keep our FIU family safe and healthy, we want to hear why you were motivated to get vaccinated.

Check out why Ana Aviles, Faculty Recruiter in the Division of Human Resources, took the important step.

There are multiple locations locally where you may receive a vaccine. Vaccines are also available on-campus based on the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) supply/inventory. Please look for email updates on how you can get vaccinated at MMC or call 305-348-5100 for an appointment.
